CHICAGO, April 3.--7The following is the
Farmers review Of this Seeks crop report:
The reports from the winter wheat growing
states are still of a favorable tenor, the ma
jority of the returns indicating that the
fall,sown grain is in the full average of
condition. The weather continues dry in
Missouri and Kansas, and there is great
lack of moisture, particularly in the last
named state, but as yet the crop has not
been seriously injured on this account over
any widely distributed area. In Michigan
and Wisconsin large portions OF the states
are still under snow, and in Grand
Traverse county Of Michigan the wheat
fields are reported to be covered with two
feet of snow. Returns from twenty-siX
counties of Illinois report the winter wheat
as looking fair to good. while in four coun-
ties the crop is looking badly Freezing
winds during the week had bad effect Oh
wheat throughout the entire state. Fiji
teen Indiana counties make favorable re-
turns, and III two counties-Adams and De-
kalb-the situation is described as bad.
The general tenor of the reports from Kan
saS Is more encouraging. The prospect of
a fair to good yield is reported i'll Bourbon,

had once been convicted after long
years by a tell-tale scrap of paper. A torn
check figures largely in the Rock Islaud

1t appears that the officers on the police

the disaster at the Cunard wharf in East
Boston. The reporters, of course, heard
the story at police headquarters
ami made rush for the office
Of the Cunard company on State street.
Here Agent Martin was found in a state
of nervous anxiety, having been sum-
moned from his residence by an employe,
who had heard the story at the wharf,
where it may have been circulated by the
harbor police. The latter do not know who
gave them the information at the wharf,
but supposed at the time that it was the
night Waterman on the wharf. This
is as far as the report can be traced
